	It's hard to tell the exact price, the NORD-50 was sold as a package with a NORD-10 included. In the February 1981 price list the most bare-bone system, [[ND-1439/S]] cost 540.000 NOK while a NORD-10 alone cost 74700, putting the NORD-50 basic system at 433.000 NOK.

			Further inventory have revealed that I have no NORD-10 cards to connect a NORD-50. I have drawings of the cards though so if I can't find a card I might build one.

The system is equipped with...
* Two crates of Big Multiport Memory
* ... more when I have had time to go over the system

==Missing parts and damages==
The side panels are missing.

I will go through the system and clean it up. I also have to go through the cards to check that none is placed in the wrong slot. Then I need a [[NORD-10]] to connect to as an interface. It will probably take some time before I can even contemplate to run this machine.
